Wisdom in
Relationship: Applying Wisdom and Compassion in Everyday Relationships (Summer)
Led by Narayan and Michael Liebenson Grady
We will focus on taking
dharma practice into the complex world of relationship, using the
Buddha's teachings on liberation as a framework for cultivating wisdom
and inner freedom in our interactions with others. Faith in the path of
awareness grows as we learn to respond in our relationships with others
with a greater degree of equanimity and compassion.

Forgiveness
(Summer)
Led by: Maddy Klyne
We can make a choice to
cultivate forgiveness. It is the act of not throwing someone out of our
hearts. Forgiveness is a way to see, understand and let go of the pain,
anger, guilt, and resentment that we carry from harm that was done to
us or by us. Forgiveness cannot change our past but can change the
present. In this practice group we will explore what it means to
forgive ourselves, to forgive others and to ask others to forgive us.
We will use formal meditation practices on forgiveness, as well as
discussion and reflection.
Requirements:
This class is open to all.
